Week-old Triops

Here are my week-old triops, the day before all but one of them croaked.

Triops longicaudatus–Discovery Day!

(Pronounced wrong in the video, I know!) While Brit and I were at work in the Globe District of the Tonto National Forest in Arizona, we discovered a cattle tank full of triops! Until this encounter, I had never even heard of triops. Now I’m a triops addict! If you’re interested in the whole story, I wrote a short post about it at deserthominid.blogspot.com Cheers, Ken
